NEW ENGLAND SOCIALISTS.
Projected Tour Of Agitation by Wal
ter NrOoman.

The District Committee of the
Western New England District
Union of the Socialistic Labor Party
has issued the following notice:
70 the Sections and Memhers of the $, h.
T., Of New EHgidIol
At the conference of the District Union
of the Western New England States held
at Rockville, July 3, the District Com
miitee was instructed to make arrange
ments for an agitation tour by Walter
Nrooman during September, and to seek
the cooperation of all the Sections IN
the New England States.
AS Walter Nrooman has already re
piled favorahly to our request, and aS lac
is peculiarly adapted for the important
work of spreading a knowledge OF SO
cialism among our fellow worlimen, no
Section should neglect this opportunity
to assist in the work by organizing and
arranging meetings Where no Section
exists individual members of the Party
as well as thoughtful readers Of the
WORkMEN'S ADVOCATE should endoavor
to have meetings IN theIr nelghhoi hoOd1
and secure the services of this highly
gifted speaker. As Mr.. Nrooman is also
fine open-air speaker such meetings
could be arranged at low cost.
The month of September seems to lis
to be "A proper time for this tour, rs the
people are more disposed to attend such
meetings just previous to elections.
Therefore, comrades, let us co opcrat,
to "spread the light among the masses,
and this oppo tunity offers better facill-
ties and promises greater results than
the isolated action of individual Sections
We should act together whenever
possible.
For particulars apply to *. May, Bon

TO AMERICANlZE.

At Sundays meeting of the Jersey
City Heights Socialist Section the re
cent pamphlet of Frederick Engels
was unanimously indorsed. He says
that the German Socialists in order
to be successful in the United States
should adapt themselves to the Gus
toms and traditions of the American
people. 1t was also recommended
that the Socialists should enter the
United Labor Party.
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1887-08-06

Let every one of us constitute HIM
self a committee OF one to spread
the light" and to convince our neigh
bora by the printed and spoken word
that II great change in laws and
production and distribution of the
products is to be cXl ectcd IN a near
future. Let us rcvolutiOnize the
minds and characters of all our
friends and acquaintancos so that
they be prepared for the important
events to come, and for the necessity
of an entirely new legislation by
which exploitation Of the labor of
others shall be made Impossible and
real Justice established.
The twentieth century will not
dawn upon us before the great
change of all our Institutions will
be essentially realized, A very few
years may bring on the beginning OF
that change. The capltallstic class,
foresceing the end, will try their
utmost efforts to prevent the doom
of their system. They will try to
abolish UNIVERSAL suffrage and
the freedom of the press and assem-
blasc. They will try to increase the
standing army, the police, the
detective force and perfect espionage.
They will hire more "Pinkertons' y
and try TO provoke the worst suf-
fercrs among the working class into
conspraclcs to be betrayed and
severely and cruelty punished.
They have tried all these means
heretofore in America AS we'll rs IN
Europe. Let lis battle all these
efforts of theirs and scol1 at them
We can afford to "waIt little
longer" All we need to do in the
meanwhile is to agitate and preach
economical and political truths and
to organize our fellow sufferers.
This, our defensive position, will
force the capitalistic class to assume
the o0enSire and to declare war OF
our guaranteed rights. Then the
enormous majority OF the workers
will be obliged to side with us--and
this must bring up the great decision.

RnssIa,s Militia Fnrce-

The militia of the Russian empire COM
prises all able bodied men between 20 and
40 years, whether they have performed
their service or have been previously ex-
empt. 1t is divided into two bans, one of
which may be called at once into active
service, the other still acting as militia.
1t Is divided into battahons and squad
rOns, and the number to be called out at
any time is fixed by imperial ukase. Only
an approximate estimate of the effective
forces Of the entire Russian army can be
made. On a peace footing Russia is able
to put into line from 700, 900 to 500, 900
men, or nearly twice as many as either
France or Germany. OF these 500, 900
are infantry, divided into 985 battalions
and 800 batteries of 1916 cannons. To
this figure, TO find the number on a war
footing, must be added / 800, 900 Of the
reserve and SO0O,00 of the militia,
making $4,000 men. This immense
force of men is divided into nineteen
army corps.-San Francisco Chronicle.

day. the DIST instant, the day set apart
for the closing exercises, dawned very
unpropitiously. From Waimea, at one
end Of the island. to Hanalei, at the
other. the rain fell heavily, but toward
10 O'Clock it cleared, and children, as
well as adults, fastened TO the halls OF
learning.
At Waimea there was a fair attend
ance of visitors, who were well enter
tanned by the singing, declarations, etc.
At Koloa, where an exhibition OF
school work was given in addition to the
singing and other exercises, the children
showed that they were we'll trained by
pa1nstaking teachers.
At Lihue there was an unusually large
audience, and numbers could not be
accommodated in the room, but patient
" stood through all the exercises. The
natives were well pleased by the knowl-
edge OF English that the children of the
lowest classes displayed. Object lessons
is a marked feature in these classes.
Kappa school closed on Friday, and the
children showed how much trouble had
been taken with them, for their declam-
atoms, singing, etc, were greatly en-
joyed by the large audience OF natives
and haoles.
Kilauea did not stand behind her sis
ter schools, and the closing exercises
there were highly appreciated by the
public.
At Hanalei the exercises were agree
ably interrupted by grand luau, natives
coming from great distances to attend,
and happiness reigned supreme.
The school houses in each of these
places were deliberately decorated with
ferns, flowers and leaves, and made
pretty appearance, and the neatly
dressed children, with their eager, happy
faces, added not a little to the pleasures
of the day. The summer term for 1887

The Horse Not Intelligent.

great deal of superstition, [ may say.
about the intelligence of the horse
Sauntering up TO an expressman at the

does horse know" "A horse, sir?'
he replied. "A horse knows as much as
a man-just exactly. Ny horse there
knows everything, just like a man.
This is the way everybody talks who
owns horse or who tends horses, and il
all seems to me to be nonsense.
have seen horses walk around a post
until they had wound up the bride and
then stand all day with their heads
bound down to the post because they
didn't have sense enough to walk the
other way and unwind the bride.
have seen them get foot over the bride,
when tied to q ring in the pavement.
and then go into fits because they didn t
have sense enough to lift their feet over
the bride again. l have seen them
prance around in q burning barn, witk
their tails and names on fire, and burn 10
death, because they did not have sense
enough ID run out. Anybody can steal a
horse without any objection from the
horse. y horse viii stand and starve OF
freeze to death with nothing between
him and comfortable stall and plenty
of oats except an old door that he could
kick down with one foot. or that could
be opened by removing a pin with his
teeth. If this is a high degree of in
telligence, even for a brute, then l am
lacking in that article myself Com
pared with the dog, the elephant, or even
the parrot, the horse seems to me to be
